This maybe appeals more to single people fresh out of college looking for something more... I found some ideas ok but overall not necessarily creativity - - and definitely not for where I am in life as an older solo parent of two... it's been on my list to read for years but it was not very inspiring for me in my current state.

I picked this up at 2nd & Charles because when I flipped through there were a few ideas that intrigued me (go to www.52projects.com and you can see all the ideas that are in the book). It is more than just the projects listed though...there are a few fun projects listed near the page numbers (page 80 - plan a picnic for the first day it reaches 80 deg), and there are some essays on projects - what they can do for you. The best idea was to not let them fall away -- finish your projects. Even a failure can lead to something. So, I am taking that to heart...My goal for the rest of this year (and likely next year as well) is to just get some of my current projects completed. Good luck to me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this slim little book about making and doing - and why we make and do. He takes the idea of projects far beyond the usual craftiness, encouraging the reader to try new things, make memories, and give back while fueling your own creativity and engagement with yourself, your loved ones, and the world. I would like to give this book as a Christmas present to all of my loved ones - or at least those that are inclined toward self-reflection.
